Not sure by you, but Farm Family covers everything for us.

 

American Family

How about using a day labor/temp agency for occasional help, let them take care of the employment taxes and insurance. Then all you need to take care of is your liability ins.

 

If you use just temporary labor on a part-time basis you could classify that person as a "Contract Laborer". This basically means they are a sub-contractor. You then just pay them their hourly rate X hrs. and 1099 them at the end of the year. They are responsible for the taxes.
I use American Family for my liability. $385.00/yr. In my state you don't have to worry about workman's comp. if you employ less than 3 people.

 

you will want to check out the IRS defination of contract labor before you try this one, something as simple as telling the sub-contractor what time he has to be at the jobsight will nullify the subcontractor definition, and you can be stuck with paying penalties

Casey is correct!! Also, if they are using your equipment they are not considered contract larbor.
